Puppet / PUP-7527 Insufficient error message when erroneously passing a Collection containing non-Data values for a Data parameter Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/05/12 10:42 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Ryan Whitehurst Sample code: function foo ( Data $var, ) { notice($var) }   foo([Resource[file]]) produces the output Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'foo' parameter 'var' expects a Data value, got Tuple at data_type_error.pp:7:1 on node example.com It's not obvious why that's invalid, because a Tuple can match Data, but only if all its elements match Data.

Re: Insufficient error message when erroneously passing a Collection containing non-Data values for a Data parameter You would want to the know the path to element in the given value that is not Data compliant so you can do something about it. Clearly the information shown for the mismatch is not enough.

Re: Insufficient error message when erroneously passing a Collection containing non-Data values for a Data parameter I ran into a bit of the same thing trying to send around file resource defaults via class parameter. https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/lang_resources_advanced.html#setting-attributes-from-a-hash $file = { 'group' => 'groupname', 'mode' => '0640', 'notify' => Service[$service], 'owner' => 'root', 'require' => Package[$package], } class { '::myclass::backend': file => $file, toggle => true, } Part of the "Error while evaluating a Resource Statement": parameter 'file' entry 'notify' expects a Data value, got Type parameter 'file' entry 'require' expects a Data value, got Tuple And the line/character is the start of the resource-style class declaration.
